Electrochemical Process

An electrochemical process involves chemical reactions that are driven by electrical energy. It typically occurs in devices like batteries or electrolysis systems. In a battery, chemical reactions release electrons, creating an electrical current that powers devices. In electrolysis, electrical energy is used to drive chemical changes, like splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. These processes involve the movement of charged particles called ions through an electrolyte, enabling the transfer of energy between chemical and electrical forms. Essentially, electrochemical processes convert chemical energy into electricity or vice versa, facilitating energy storage, transmission, and chemical production.
